A ten-minute film devoted to a spoon. It may appear surprising but the fact is this is not any spoon. It is actually a shadow spoon ancient Egyptians used for their dead, which not content to protect them from flies, was also supposed to keep their eyes open during their voyage to the other world. Carlos Vilardebo films it (and a few others of the type) with all the more fascination as it has the shape of a beautiful naked swimmer. In the end, the ten minutes spent looking at spoons seem - too short.
